[Opensourcecrm-keyfactordev] README.txt and TODO.txt drafts

[Bob K. <rf...@ST...>]

A draft of the README and TODO files for the next version of KeyFactor.
Does anyone have any comments they'd like to add/subtract/multiply/divide?

--- README.txt ---
This is the README file for KeyFactor Server version 1.1.5.  Please see
http://www.OpenSourceCRM.org/ for more information on what KeyFactor
is and what it can do for you.

Requirements For Installation:
------------------------------
Note that the minimum recommended requirements for installation are 64MB
of RAM, 50MB of disk space for installation, and 1GB of disk space for
working area.

Additionally, we have only tested this software against the following
databases:

Oracle 8.0.5 and 8.1.5.0.2
MySQL 3.22
PostgreSQL v7.0 (see note below)

We are very interested in hearing if it works with any other
databases.

Installation Instructions:
--------------------------
Please refer to Appendix 1 of the User Guide (Installation Notes) for
instructions on installing both the server and GUI software.

Other Notes:
------------
Please look at the TODO file for a list of things we would like to
accomplish in the near future.

The table NEXTKEY has changed since version 1.1.0 of KeyFactor.  The field
KEY has been changed to NKEY.  Thus the new version of the code may not
work with a 1.1.0 version of the database.  We are working on an Oracle 
script to make this change to the database.

We have noticed some issues with certain Oracle JDBC drivers.  If you are 
experiencing difficulties please try the latest Oracle 8.0.5.0.2 JDBC
drivers.

The current 7.0 version of PostgreSQL JDBC driver lacks support for
ODBC-style date literal escape syntax.  We are actively working on 
a patch to the current driver.

There are also some additional MySQL installation notes in:
Database/MySQLScripts/INSTALL_NOTES.txt

and some additional PostgresSQL notes in:
Database/PostgreSQLScripts/INSTALL_NOTES.txt
